Me. I kinda don't want to play without them.

It's out, and it's great... BUT...
Rail grids CANNOT be created in a rotationally symmetrical way.
Because the center point of a blueprint has to be in the center of a cell, and rail blueprints must be an even size, you can never have the point of rotation match.
This makes it impossible to create a globally-synced grid with your rail parts (one of the biggest reason to use this type of grid) unless you make a unique template for every rotation (NS, EW, and four copies of your corner segments instead of one template you rotate).
Very depressing. I hope they allow for more flexible specification of the point of symmetry, quickly.
